Dear JOHN MICHEL,

Thank you for inviting me to join the Winston Founding Fathers Fund. It is an organization which I hold in high esteem and I was delighted and honored to be considered worthy to join. Unfortunately, as I am caring for my chronically ill husband at this time, it is not possible for me to make a commitment outside of my home.

We are uncertain what the future may bring, but should I find myself able to assist in the years to come I would be thrilled to accept your invitation. I wish you all the best for the Fund’s future successes.
